CB: My first born is now a 19 year old little lady who will always be my blue-eyed baby girl. She has a sweet soul and good nature, loves music and the water. She has been diagnosed with: Chronic Static Encephalopathy, severe ("low functioning") Autism, severe cognitive impairments, an uncontrolled generalized seizure disorder and scoliosis. Though officially a young adult, CB 's overall functioning in speech and language, socialization, cognitive and motor skills is equivalent to about an 8 month old to 1 year old. She requires1:1 supervision and all self-care done for her. She has a smile that will melt your heart.

PINK: 10 year old, sensitive, warm hearted, and an old soul. Prone to Super Drama and teen angst one minute, but is CB's biggest helper and cheerleader the next.

RELLA (AS IN CINDERELLA) 6-year old little linebacker. She's the boy we never had. Climbing, getting into mischeif, physically active. She's a cinderblock with arms and legs. An ADORABLE cinderblock I might add. Her eyes are the palest summer sky blue.

ME aka DR MOM: Author of blog, Doctor of Psychology turned Stay At Home Mom, Freelance Writer, and Runner. I have exactly two items on my bucket list - Go to Hawaii and publish a book. My expectations are either very low or completely unattainable depending on your perspective.
